[jQuery] Re: hoverIntent and Accordion

[Brian Cherne]

The hoverIntent plugin assumes you're sending it either:

a) both over and out functions, or
b) a single configuration object.

When you send it only one function it assumes that that's the configuration
object. As you are only interested in using an over function, I'd recommend
sending an anonymous function for the out function. You could name your
functions and use them directly in the method, or as part of the
configuration object:

var overFn = function(){
     $("dd:visible").slideUp("slow");
     $(this).parent().next().slideDown("slow");
     return false;
};

var outFn = function(){};

$("dt a").hoverIntent( overFn, outFn );

// OR //

$("dt a").hoverIntent({
    over: overFn,
    out: outFn
});

Let me know if this helps,
Brian.
